A major study led by researchers at the Yale School of Medicine analyzed the treatment outcomes of nearly 120,000 surgical cancer patients across the United States. The researchers compared short- and long-term survival rates between top 50 cancer hospitals and their affiliated treatment centers as designated by U.S News & World Report.

Key Findings:

  • Patients treated at affiliate hospitals had a 1.7 times higher risk of mortality within 90 days post-surgery than those at top-ranked hospitals.
  • Even after adjusting for tumor type, treatment complexity, and patient demographics, survival rates were still significantly better at leading cancer centers.
  • Long-term survival outcomes were also superior for patients who received care at top-tier institutions.

This study provides clear evidence that the hospital you choose matters, especially when undergoing high-risk cancer treatment or major surgery.
